CONFIDENTIAL
HEADQUARTERS OF
DEMOCRATIC CITY COMMITTEE,
PORTLAND, March 9Th, 1887. }
Dear Sir Having completed the most
thorough preliminary canvas ever made of
the Democratic voters of Portland, we take
great pleasure in announcing that our figures
Show clear Democratic majority In the city,
and that victory is surely wlthln our grasp
in the coming municipal election, II we i'm
prove our opportunity and present united
front We therefore urge You to make a
special effort to vote early on Monday next
and to personally see that every Democratic
voter ili your immediate vicinity does like
wise. x vote early in the day encourages
your committee and materially lessons their
labor, and as the state OF the vote Is bulletin
ed at ~ O'Clock, it is very desirable to have
every possible vote polled before that time,
in order to get the benefit OF the moral effect
of the announcement OF a large vote for our
candidates.
Let us then rally to the support of our
ticket and we shall have the proud satisfac-
ton of duty done, and of electing our Mayor
and majority of the ward officers.
Per order of the
Philip j. Larrabee, Chairman
Joseph A. MCGOWAN, Secretary.
The Democrats profess confidence in the
above circular which they do not feel They
know that if the full vote is poled Mayor
Chapman will receive a good majority
They are hoping that enough Republicans,
feeling that the election of Mr.. Chapman is
assured, will remain away from the polls
and give them a majority in case they can
get all their vote out. The purpose of this
circular is to get all their men to the polls.
They want to get them there early too. so
that at noon they can proclaim that McCar-
thy is ahead, so as to turn the wavering vot-
er to his side.
Republicans see the Democratic programme
They can prevent its success by turning out
en- mdsse as soon as the polls are open.

Clear the Track F!

We rejoice to be able to chronicle
the consummation OF the deferred
hopes Of our people In the commence
ment of the above work. All doubt
was dispelled on yesterday by the
appearance on tho scene of the To-
eating engineer, Mr.. Trammell.
Capt. Mcbride went yesterday to
Lockhart and closed out the remain
der of the right of way, while steps
have been taken to condemn the Will
hanson and Bugg lands, as regards
which no agreement seemed practic-
able, in order to proper adjustment.
Meantime workmen are engaged in
erecting a comissary building near
the freight depot, and the route is
being staked off for grading. Messrs.
Burns and Peters have the contract
for building the road from here to
Lockhart if not to Smithville. We
are informed there will be no track
living done until the grading is fin
ished to Smithville, fifty-fve miles,
and that the grading is expected to
begin early next week.

AIeading Thinker Speaks.

The North American Review, one
of the ablest magazines published,
has this to say about Prohibition
Prohibition is a certainty in this
country, and that within very few
years. Every civilized nation on
earth is looking for some cure for the
greatest evil that afilicts the earth.
The fact that all countries are trying
10 regulate it is an admission that II
is an evil. and the centuries have de
monstrated that there is no sense
whatever 10 trying to regulated an evil.
Evils are 10 be killed, not regulated.

There were about one hundred and
fifty delegates in attendance. We
were kindly favored last week by our

Prohibition Pen Points.

Robt. J. Burdette thinks that freedom
did not shrek as Kosciusko fell over whisky
barrel that Warren did not die that beer
might flow seven days in week that even
the battle of Brandy wine was not fought
that whisky might be frej.
mo clause in the Declaration of indie
pendence declares that Sunday concert
garden, with five brass horns aud 100 kegs
of beer, is the inalienable right of free
people and the corner stone of good govern
ment."
1.-The battles of the world have been
fought for grander things than free whisky. y
"The champion of beer does not stand in
the temple of fame but in the police court. "
"Honor never has the delirium tremens. "
If there are only nineteen thousand pro-
hibition votes in Texas q great many people
would like to know why the Cresset and the
rest of the ants are fighting the amendment
so hard.
It looks Just little ridiculous to see an
immense army more than two hundred
thousand strong sending all over the United
States for supplies to help them outvote O
paltry nineteen thousand.
The Cresset says the prohibition amend
ment is very undemocratic measure.
When, where and how did it get its informa
ton :?
The funniest thing of the campaign so far
is the San Antonio Express, an avowed high
tariff paper, trying to teach Judge Reagan
democracy.
That paper says democrat can't vote fol
prohibition. That settles the question.
But seriously if the anti prohibitionists
are intending that somebody shall leave the
democratic party, we hope they will let us
know in time when they will be going so we
can get our linen ready to weep. AS fol
the prohibitionists, the vast majority intend
to remain on the old ship of democracy and
fight it out on that line if it takes fifty years
| to do it.

The City Council aud the Water Com.
pany.

BAN MAhoos. Texas, May Is, 1887.
Ed. FAKK PhEss'-Cireulars have. been
issued 10 tho customers OF the Water Works
Company. reeiiing nm ordinance OF the City
Council. claimed TO have been passed May
4th and to take effect May 18th, prohibiting
the use OF bydrants for certain purposes by
the customers Of said Water Company be-
tween the hours OF p. m. and O a. m,
under penalty Of fine, costs and imprison-
ment.
The writer OF this article does not propose
to discuss the question m to whether or not
the customers Of said Water Company act
In good faith under their contract, with said
company, in the use OF water In this man
ner. THIS Is matter OF contract between
the consumers and the company. But what
the City Council has to do with the private
contracts OF individuals and said company
Is matter that an ordinary mind cannot
grasp. Suppose said company has made
contract with an individual to furnish him
water, who Is TO determine how. when, or
In what quantity he sb III use II? II is clear
ly matter Of contracts, and what force or
effect this ordinance can have in the face Of
the Constitution Of Texas which says that
the Legislature of Texqs shall have no
power to pass any law impairing the obi
CATION Of contract, is difficult to see. Does
the City Council seek to constitute them
selves the especial guardians Of the Water
Company? II consumer Is making use Of
the water in manner unauthorized by his
contract, tho company have the right to cut
off his supply and there the matter ends,
until the consumer will conform to his con-
tract. About year ago the Council had
under consideration an ordinance making it
misdemeanor, punishable with fine, for
consumer to give bucket of water to his
thirsty neighbor, whose well or cistern
might be dry. This ordinance is in keeping
with that spirit. II should be denounced
by every citizen as an unauthorized attempt
in an illegal manner. to look after the pri-
vate interests of raid company. A business
that the City Council were never created
for. The City Council has nothing to do
with the business of said company and its
customers. Their power, duty and bust
ness is to see that the water source is kept
pure. That said company shall carry out
its contracts with the public (the city,.
why2 Because the City Council is the
guardian of the health of the citizens, and
because the City Council has made con-
tract with said company for a supply of
water, and we are being heavily taxed to
pay for it, IL it not well known fact that
the supply has been inadequate for fire pro-
lection, the very cause for the contract and
consequent taxation, and that the reservoir
was filthy and covered with a green scum
What steps were taken by the City Council
to dock said company in its pay for the
time it was notorious that it failed to COM
ply with its contract, is question that
heavily taxed people are interested in. Let
the City Council attend to its proper duties
and pass such laws rs they have right to
pass and not attempt to make scare crows
